As many persons suffer at this season OF
the year from diarrhma and dysetery the
following simple remedy is said to be
very effective: Take a raw egg, beat up
slightly, with or without sugar, and
swallowed at gulp, it tends by its emol-
lent qualities, to lessen the Inflammation
of the stomach intestines, and by form
ing transient coating on these organs, TO
enable nature to resume her healthful
sway over diseased body. Two, or at
most three, eggs per day would be al
that is required in ordinary cases; and
since egg is not merely medicine, bat
food as well, the lighter the diet ether
wise and the quieter the patient is kept,
the mole certain and rapid is The recov-
cry.

,ri,e Debt Nuesfion.

RICHMOND, May 1.-the debt settlement
problem remains IN statu quo and no meet
ing of the Legislative committee was held
Yesterday. Itseems that the sub committee
of the Legislature committee completed their
report for the representatives of the British
hondhoders Thursday night and presented
it to Sir Edward Thornton and his associates.
This report was, in substance, that
the last proposition made by the
bondhoders was not satisfactory, as it
still left the principal Of the debt too
large, and WAS besides rather obscure
and complicated. The committee, there
fore, made counter proposition to the eff
feet that the consols be scaled down to 10
cents on the dollar, ths 10 40's to 81! cents
on the dollar, and the past due coupons to
be funded at 80 cents on the dollar, and
when this was done the whole debt to bear
8 per cent interest They calculated that
this would make the annual interest account
about $S00,000
Sir Edward Thornton sent cablegram 10
the principals in London, stating the terms,
and asking for further instructions. No re-
spouse had been received to this message, but
lis confidently looked for before tomorrow
The Legislature is growing restless. as
shown by the resolutions offered in both
houses, calling for an Immediate report Of
OF the legislative committee.

%, Grant ordered Sheridan to "do all the
damage to railroads and crops that you can,
carry off stock of all descriptions and ne.
groes, so as to prevent further planting. IF
the war is to last another year we want the
Shenandoah Valley to remain a barren
waste" Iu November he suggested to
Sheridan that it would be advisable to no.
tify all citizens living east of the Blue Ridge
to move north of the Potomac all their
stock, grain and provisions of every descrip-
ton. There is no doubt" Grant continued

RICHMOND Va, May 10, 1SS7.-The bill
which passed the Senate to day to direct q
sale of the States interest in the Alexandria
Canal Company was not exactly what Sena-
tor Meredith wanted, but it was the best
that he could obtain. 1t is not substitute
proposed by the Senate to the House bill
and reads as follows:
Be ii enacted by the General Assembly Of
Jirginia. That the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund be, and they are hereby di-
rected to expose to sale at public cutlery, to
the highest bidder, for cash in current mo-
ney OF the United States in the city OF AL
exandria at some time prior TO the hrst day
Of July 1887, the stock held and owned by
the Commonwealth in the Alexandria Canal
Company. The time place and terms OF
such sale shall be fixed by publication for
at least four successive weeks, in one or
mora newspapers published in the cities of
Alexandria and Washington. In making
said sale the said commissioners shall offer
the said stock first in blocks Of not
over five hundred shares at a tina, and also
es WHOLE reserving to themselves The
right to accept the bid for it as a whole or
in blocks, if the sale in the latter way shall
aggregate more than the sale of It as a whole.
"a The said commissioners shall prompt
ly notify the purchasers of said stock as
soon as they accept and confirm his or their
bid, and require him or them to pay for the
same in current money Of the United States
ten days thereafter, at the office of the
Second Auditor of Virginia, by whom it
shall be paid into the treasury Of the State
